3rd Sumitra Maharana Memorial Lecture on Molecular Biology and Biotechnology EPIGENETICS - LIFE BEYOND YOUR GENES IMPLICATIONS IN BEHAVIOR AND HEALTH Tapas Kumar Kundu Professor at the JNCASR, Bengaluru is an accomplished molecular biologist and an expert on epigenetics. He made remarkable contributions in identifying that small modifications in DNA packing could alter brain functions, finding potential applications of managing such modifications in disease therapy, and developing nano-material-based therapeutic intervention systems. His lecture will outline the principles of Epigenetics and its underlying mechanism. How such modifications could determine our brain function and behavior, and, potential therapeutics using nano-medicine. Prof. Tapas K.
